breaking this morning, the dangerous threat from hurricane debby's seconds ago, it just made landfall. >> battering florida with powerful winds and hail heavy rains, and could cause catastrophic flooding in three states, we are tracking that storm and the announcement could come at any minute. we're standing and the by to find out who vice president kamala harris has chosen as her running mate and then ten years ago, a dead bear cub was found under a bike in central park. now robert f. kennedy jr. has confessed that he was the one who put it there. we promised the whole thing is even weirder than it sounds kate bolduan is out today. i'm john berman with sarah seidner in this is cnn news central just a few

seconds ago, hurricane debby made landfall, the category one storm is lashing florida's big bend region, right now, life-threatening storm surge and wind gusts as high as 100 miles per hour, or the biggest concern as the sun begins to rise. >> but the rain and what comes next for georgia and south carolina are raising even more alarm this morning, more than 1 million people are under an extremely rare level, four out of four risk for excessive rain, catastrophic flooding expected to last for days. let's get right to elisa rafah who is in florida with us. at least, just made landfall just now, can you give us some sense of what you are experiencing where you are? >> you know, it's an incredible sara because we have been in the center of the eye. so those winds were whipping when we were in the eyewall and they have calmed down a little bit now that we were in the eye

and they're starting to pick up again. we are at the location steinhatchee, florida, where debby's sent her just made landfall with 80 mile per hour winds. winds have been howling all night as be dealt with all of the outer bands and part of that eyewall overnight intense wind and rain. we've had rainfall totals around this area over eight inches, storm surge from cedar key up into the big bend. we have seen approaching six feet and increasing as the storm continues to push that wind onshore, where we are got impacted by idalia last year, a lot of these dots that you see behind me locals here were telling us they knew they literally just replaced them because they all got destroyed any dalia last year, there will also showing us some places that they just got but it and fixed from idalia's flooding last year. and again, they were worried about what this storm could do that could ruin the progress that they've made in the year since now, after now they have debby has made landfall. it will continue to

push inland, but the problem is, is it slows down significantly to a crawl. you could literally walk faster than the forward speed of the storm as it gets towards georgia and south carolina. the problem with that is when you have a tropical system that just sits and spins, it will drop prolific amounts of rain. we're talking historic levels 20 to 30 inches over parts of the low country of georgia and south carolina could challenge records that were left from florence and parts of south carolina. so really worried about catastrophic flooding on top of that as well, we have the freshwater flooding from the rain that will come down, the heavy rain from the storm. but will also continue and i have that onshore flow along those coasts as well. so when you have that heavy rain coming down plus the ocean pushing inland, you have nowhere for any of that water to drain. so incredibly worried about a catastrophic situation unfolding along the georgia and south carolina coast. and this last week, so we have landfall happening right now. but this

will last for days, really, we'll be tracking it through the entire workweek here from the heavy rain and the storm surge impacts. but for now, again, the winds here have been on the commerce side as we're in the center of the storm right now in steinhatchee waiting to get the other end of that eyewall where those wins we'll pick up again, sara. >> it's incredible you and your crew going through that whole situation where the ai goes over on top, you, everything is silent and then suddenly those winds whip up again. they have to remind people that just because it goes calm, doesn't mean that that's over. and it is the rain, not the wind in this case that could be the real danger to people across three states. elisa rafah. thank you so much from steinhatchee, florida. they're giving us a view of that incredibly powerful wind storm that she's dealing with right now, i was standing right there one year ago for idalia as it came in obviously as lisa said, it's the flooding that's the main concern here with the rain and the storm surge. let's get right to derek van dam in the weather

center for the latest on that derek yeah. >> john, i'm so glad that the storm is now making landfall because that means it's losing its energy source, which is the warm waters of the eastern gulf of mexico. so it's taking away its opportunity to strengthen the wins. but as you mentioned, and it's the rain that is going to be the big factor when the history books are written. and we look back at the storm that will certainly be the big story because there is a prolific amount of rain as lisa just mentioned, coming, and it's already fallen as well. here's a look at the storm surge. the next couple of hours we still have to contend with this as we push up the waters from the very shallow gulf of mexico into the big bend we like to call this the catcher's mitt and you can exactly see why hurricane idalia from last year, just a few miles away from where debby just made landfall and so we're seeing some of those impressive storm surge totals near cedar key, about six feet right now. now the eyewall just crossed the 50% of that eyewall just crossed near steinhatchee where elisa is located and that is

why the national hurricane center called landfall just moments ago there it is. and that's why she's in that column part of the storm, but it's the backside of the storm that can catch people off guard. now the rainfall and flash flooding threat, this is a major problem. look at that shade of red the entire west coast, the big bend there the florida peninsula under flash flood warnings. but this is new this morning as well. we have flood watches that have been extended into southeast georgia and portions of south carolina because we know what's coming. we have a high risk, a very rare high risk for flash flooding from the weather prediction center. that's a level four of four. look at savannah and charleston, right? it smack dab in the middle of that high risk on tuesday. that's when we anticipate the heaviest of rain because debby will reemerge off the coast of the atlantic, it will pick up, intensify and use of that atlantic ocean water to help drive in some more moisture to this region. and rainfall totals here will be impressive. the wording of catastrophic and extreme are being used for the

national hurricane center. and they could again rival some of the state records from previous tropical cyclones. and john and sara, it was heartbreaking for me to see just what fort myers beach had to deal with yesterday from this nearby storm, flash flooding and storm surge for them after they were wracked by hurricane ida last year. >> all right. derek van dam for us, we're gonna keep a close eye on this as it moves inland. obviously, stay with cnn all morning long for an update on that. plus, really any minute we could learn her vice president kamala harris has chosen to be he her wanting me. and then stock markets around the world on edge, japan suffered its biggest one day loss ever what will happen? i've been in the us when the markets open in a little more than two hours and countries pulling their athletes out of olympic events because they got sick from swimming in the sand or at least after swimming in the seine e. coli, not your friend russia were trying to

president's residence yesterday? unclear after though a day of interviews with the final extra period zero, minnesota governor tim waltz, and arizona senator mark kelly. if the vice president has made her final decision as she's really weighing her choices out of public view. now, shapiro, he's an extremely popular governor of a vital swing state. the democrats must win. his supporters in recent days have affectionately described him as barak obama. that's not to his jewish faith, of course, in a demeanor and tone, they say mirrors former president barak obama, but progressives have raised concerns about his support for school vouchers, which they argue undermines public education and his position on the war in gaza. but he could appeal to moderate democrats. you also have, former nasa astronaut mark kelly. he is a senator from the battleground state of arizona. he brings military experience and he's taken positions to the right of the administration on the border. his wife, the

former congresswoman gabrielle giffords she was shot and gravely wounded in a 2011 assassination attempt in both of them have really become strong voices on efforts to thwart gun violence then lastly, you have minnesota governor tim waltz and he's become sort of a dark horse of sorts in this contest. he's extremely funny, a great speaker, a happy warrior, and a strong surrogate for harris. many have described him as the midwestern dad that america needs. he's good at making progressive policies like universal free meals in schools, which he advanced in his state sort of a no no-brainer for even conservatives that might be resistant to government spending so those are the people john that she is it's considering the former president though, say it doesn't matter who she chooses. let's listen i don't care. let him do whatever they still want them to have open borders. if she picks shapiro, she's going to lose the palestinian vote and that's fine. everybody has their

liabilities don't really care who she chooses as a running mate, it's not going to be good for the country and we're ready, meaning president trump and i are ready to take the case to the american people so you hear them, they're sort of trying to dampen the enthusiasm of democrats are feeling right now. >> but she will roll out this running mate soon. it could be a matter of hours or tomorrow and there'll be on the campaign trail the two of them together starting in philly, john, that's right. >> i mean, we know we're going to see them together. the question is how much before that moment? do we get a sense of who that person standing beside her will be even mechan we'll let you get back to reporting. keep us posted throughout the morning right. >> breaking overnight, rfk junior confesses to leaving a dead bear cub in central park. why he said he did not have the time to skin and eat it hurricane debby just made landfall, were right in the middle of the storm that could set records before it's done and it won't be done for days, which is the real problem

here in israel, the home front command still has not changed the alerts that as people are going about their lives, as usual jewel there was however, a back-and-forth between israel and hezbollah overnight, hezbollah claiming that it had attacked a military base with attack drones israel saying that it intercepted those drones and that it hits several hezbollah targets in inside lebanon. also some rockets, according thanks to the idf being fired from gaza and operations continuing intensively inside the gaza strip. sara throughout the weekend, at least two schools which were being used as shelters were hit in airstrikes according to gaza's civil defense, at least 17 people were killed in those strikes. cnn has reached out to the idf. the idf says that there was an attack on a hamas command and control centers. so sorry certainly tensions here. sara,

very high as people anticipate what this possible retaliation could look like, whether it will resemble iran's attack of april, whether it may be more coordinated, more intensive, and whether it could push this region over the brink once and for all sara you know, as you're there, of course, the war in gaza is still ongoing, is there any sense of what is happening with the potential cease-fire? is that completely at this hour, seemingly dead? >> at this hour, it appears to be more or less dead in the water. now, having said that there has been a flurry of effort to try to resuscitate a part of the problem. obviously, sara is that the lead negotiator for hamas ismail haniyeh was assassinated in tehran that is just one of the issues we know that secretary of state blinken also president biden has been putting massive

pressure on israel prime if it lead to get back to the negotiating table, prime minister benjamin netanyahu did send a team of negotiators to cairo over the weekend. >> but the impression is that basically it's sort of hit a brick wall at this stage and all the while, those strikes those casualties continuing to mount inside gaza, the health ministry saying we are now edging ever closer to 40,000 dead inside gaza. sara 40,000 dead in gaza and still hostages inside gaza as well. >> thank you so much, clarissa ward for all your reporting there. in tel aviv. >> alright ahead. hurricane debby has just made landfall, will have the very latest on that dangerous storm this morning, world markets take dramatic drops and growing uncertainty as the opening bell on wall street is around the corner. that's ahead cnn sports central brought to you by safe flight your auto glass experts get a quota and

say it if i didn't truly believe it all my life, i haven't debit to my house and the round in somehow none of it matters we are at war my throat you know what foegele to defeat house of the dragon streaming exclusively on max all right, the breaking news just moments ago hurricane debby made landfall in florida in the big bend area on the west coast. this thing is expected to bring catastrophic rain as much as 30 inches in some places. and it will play the east all week we're the us. now, is the commissioner for citrus county in florida, district one, jeff canard. thanks so much for being with us commissioner. as i said, this is going to affect the east all week. you get a

first, give us a sense of what it's been like and what you're expecting good morning and thank you. it is through the night. it's been an awful lot of rain. we've had about over rain so far. the wind in the last couple hours is really picked up we're in about 40, 45 mile an hour winds here right now and unfortunately, it looks like it's going to be a long day. and then for crystal river and slippers county seeing a bit of a repeat of hurricane idalia's. thankfully, this one does not appear to be as strong and thankfully the timetables are a bit more cooperative witness this time. so we're hoping for nothing more than three to five feet of storm surge if that happens, we're in pretty good shape. anything over that. >> and unfortunately, all a lot of homes of water in them mr. cannard, i understand that

hurricane dahlia, was that some of the worst flooding you've ever seen there in places like crystal river right now, you get a lot of tourists coming to see the manatees. what are your worries now? are there are still things having to be dealt with because of a dahlia that are now going to be a problem. again, because of hurricane debby oh, yes. >> many of the homes are just finishing up there renovations. it was that was devastating flooding for all for our community. but i'll tell you the same question. river and focus county and we're very resilient were prepared for these things as florida, living on the coast, mayor mayor joe meek for forever has got that has got his crews ready to go citrus county, have standing orders with debris cleaning companies that will move in once the storm flares. >> and we've had sandbags sites open naturally, we've been meeting with duke energy and with the kuchi electric company to make sure that everybody's on the same page

for getting the power turned back on once the storm settles down. >> so we're prepared, the city is prepared and we're just hoping for the best here. >> all right. jeff canard. thank you so much. best of luck to you. keep us posted as it moves over let me go right to florida governor ron desantis to tallahassee briefing on the story. >> abby have reached 80 miles an hour with higher gusts throughout the storm area to contrast that with ai dahlia i dahlia reach close to 120 mile per hour in sustained winds we have seen significant storm surge. we have seen inundation we have seen and will continue to see flooding in various parts of the state of florida. the storm is expected to move throughout north central florida and likely go into georgia and the carolinas yesterday today and into this morning, we saw impacts throughout the west coast of florida, starting in southwest florida and continuing up the

coast. this storm has produced and will likely produce significant flooding events from sarasota, bradenton area all the way up to northern florida and that's not something that just happens when the storm passes. there's a threat ongoing threat of that over the ensuing days now that hurricane debby is making landfall, most important thing to do is to just protect yourself and protect your family. don't go out into this storm don't drive on the roads particularly when their flooded we have had some traffic mishaps over the last 12 hours. and when you have floods situations that is the number one way where we will see fatalities is by people being out on the roads and hydroplane being or having other problems. so do not go, walk or drive into flooded roadways. there

are hazards there, they're dangerous we want everybody to be safe power so far we have about 143,000 floridians without power we have a lot of restoration personnel ready to go to get it back on. i think because this is a category one with 80 mile an hour sustained winds. the total number of power outages are not going to reach the level level that they did with hurricane dahlia and certainly not the level that they did with hurricane ian. >> even listening thank to florida governor ron desantis as hurricane debby makes landfall as a category one storm as you just heard, the situation to florida largely under control. this is not a very powerful storm. the real problem here will be how much rain it brings to the entire southeast over the next several days, 20 to 30 inches in some places, this story really just beginning and we'll stay on it over the next several hours as

we get more reports from the areas affected sara, as you know, john, you've covered so many of these. this is not so much a wind event, but a rain event will be reporting more on that coming up in the hour alright, this morning re-energize democrats are looking to bring voters from the other side of the aisle to presumptive democratic nominee kamala harris. the group known as republicans for biden has officially relaunched as republicans for harris. the goal convince republicans put off by donald trump that he is enough of a threat to democracy for them. and to cross party lines. and vote blue in november, cnn's isaac dovere joins me now with more on this story. obviously they were republicans for biden. now, republicans for harris, which, which all makes sense at all tracks, do you think there will be numbers though there when they, after they do this launch? >> well, look, it's a good question, sara and we are seeing how it's playing out. this group just officially relaunched yesterday. it's part of the harris campaign. they've got events that are going on in a bunch of battleground states today. and a number of endorsements from

former republican elected officials. but the question here is not just what you point to of whether they can be repelled enough by trump of those republicans to vote for harris. but whether they are accepting enough of some of the past positions that kamala harris has had, which are more on the liberal side of things on the left side of things, then than joe biden was, there was a big part of the argument for joe biden that he was a moderate centrist. he could could make that appeal across the aisle. now the campaign is trying to say, look, not only is trump still the threat that he is, if you believe that, but they're saying a lot of her positions have changed and that she is tacking more toward the center than she was when she ran in her primary campaign for president in 2019 isaac dovere with great reporting this morning. thank you so much, john. >> all right. with us now, former senior advisor to the trump 2016 campaign, jason osborne and rachel palermo, former deputy communications director to vice president harris, and friends were

literally out of our seats standing up in anticipation of the announcement from harris or at least the leak that could come any minute who she has chosen to be her running mate. i will note we don't have seats here at all, so we're always standing. but jason, first to you, i do want to ask who the selection would be. that republicans fear the most, the top three contenders at this point as we sit here here this morning, seemed to be josh shapiro, the governor of pennsylvania, mark kelly, senator from arizona, and tim walz from minnesota, who to republicans fear the most i'm not necessarily certain that there's anybody that would, republicans should fear the most. >> i mean, if vice presidential pick gives you a temporary boost or in some cases, a temporary drop as we're seeing now. but i think after the decision is made you know, whoever kamala picks is certainly going to be out on the stump and to be able to energize voters in a certain way. i think if you look at the three contenders that are up on the screen right now, josh shapiro is certainly the one that i think on the stump has

the best resume i like tim walz, some a big fan of governors period. so either one of those two, i think are going to be able to resonate better with crowds than a mark kelly, who is untested, but as a great resume, but not necessarily good on the stump so rachel, there seems to be infighting. there was no primary for the democrats. so a lot of the fighting seems to have been going on behind the scenes the last 48 hours over the vice presidential selection, with some sort of jabs at josh shapiro, the governor of pennsylvania. what do you make of that? >> well, what i will say is that all of the names that have been floated so far really show that the democrats have a deep bench and there's a lot of energy about all of the name. there's a lot of excitement and it shows that the future of the democratic party is bright. and i think what's important here is that any of these candidates would be significantly stronger on the ticket than j.d. vance has been for trump. j.d. vance is running on the project 2025 agenda with donald trump, which

would rollback freedoms. it would gut the federal government, including agencies like the department of education and it would hurt the middle class. and so i've been energized by the response i've seen about all of the democratic potential vice presidential picks i have to see what happens, but why then are people going after shapiro? >> all kinds of reporting over the weekend, the fetterman john fetterman, the senator from pennsylvania, isn't happy with the idea that shapiro could be the pick. you're getting people pointing out shapiro's staunch support in the past of israel why are there people targeting him? >> well, i think that it's a normal part of the veepstakes process for people to express their opinions about the various candidates. i will say in terms of the names that have been floated, a lot of them do have very similar policy positions and a lot of them aligned with the vice president's vision of this country of moving forward and not back jason, there is this notion that shapiro could upset some progressives in the

democratic party. but the flip side of that is, isn't that maybe what the ticket needs? do you think that harris vice president harris needs to appeal more to the middle? >> well, i certainly i mean, although i think you're looking at obviously a very historic election here in the sense that the u.s. has really never had a kind of quote, unquote snap election, which is what essentially this is. i mean, this is what every country outside of the u.s. experiences where you have 306090 days to run a campaign. >> so i think there is that danger in this sense that you always want to veer towards the middle on both sides of the aisle. >> now, whether or not the republicans are doing that as a different question, but in terms of democrats, if they're veering towards the center, they're hoping that they have time through a traditional campaign to bring back those folks that are on the far left or the far right that at the end of the day, who's better would you would you rather have

somebody that's closer to your positions? are somebody completely on the other side of the aisle on this? i don't know if there's enough time to convince the progressives that a harris whether harris shapiro ticket is the one that's going to be better than a trump campaign going forward so i think one thing though we need to watch is this week whatever announcement is made tonight or leaked out tonight or tomorrow however, the economy, the stock market does today is going to impact a lot. the effect of this announcement. >> we're going to report on the stock market and just a moment because in japan they had historic losses overnight and futures are down right now. so we have a report on that coming up. in the meantime, i know what you will both want to talk about. more than anything is how robert kennedy jr. confessed overnight that he left a dead bear cub in central park ten years ago i don't have the time to even describe every

aspect of the story he found the dead bear cub. he says in upstate new york, brought it to dinner or didn't have time to dispose of it, decided to put it in central park and stage a situation where it made it looked like a bike killed it. this is how kennedy explained it last night in a social media post video that he made with roseanne barr because it couldn't get any weird or watch so i pulled over and i picked up the bear and put him in the back of my van because i was gonna skin the bear and it was very good condition i was just going to be my refrigerator and you can do that okay. rachel, what do you do with this? >> well, i know that we've been talking a lot about weirdness in this campaign. and of course, this is very weird, very bizarre. but i think that we have to not let this get to a distraction. he was never a serious candidate in the first place. this campaign is clear contest between vice president kamala harris and donald trump,

where she's fighting for fundamental freedoms and she's fighting for a vision to take us forward and donald trump is threatening the very essence of our democracy. >> i do want to play one additional piece of sound from this, which is that ten years ago when we were reporting on this dead get bear cub being found, this is what i said about it had been no bears in the park for a long, long time, behaved seems as if somewhat brought the thing there was just really sad jason is the lesson here that you need to listen to me because ultimately ten years hence, i will be proven correct listen, i like the throwback to you know, ten years ago. you haven't changed a bit. i'm sure sara is agreeing with me on that but one thing that i found that was interesting was he he did come up with an explanation of where he thinks he got the brain worm from. so at least we have a solution to that problem. so in a sense, now we know what

happened with a bear who did it and where the brain worm came from. >> all right. i'm happy about that. >> and i think the upside of this is maybe now never have to speak of this again. jason osborne and rachel. i thank you both very much for being with us. >> they're one thing to note on this show, john berman is all raise rates. >> we have learned all right, breaking overnight for you a major global market sell off japan's stock market plunged amid uncertainty on wall street causing other asian markets to follow the downturn trend continue in europe and here in the u.s. futures, all pointing sharply lower ahead of the market, open cnn's marc stewart is in beijing for us. give us a sense of why we're seeing this fall off here. the selloff here so much at play, sara. >> and let me just be blunt, the economic anxiety, the stress that we saw all across asia today has now crossed the ocean and is very much going to be in play when the stock market york opens up in just

about two hours. and that could potentially impact your 401k japan, for example, how a really rough day. the biggest daily losses ever for japanese stocks. it's not that often. we use the word breathtaking when reporting on business, but this is one of those cases so what exactly is happening? well, a lot of this really does vary continent to continent. let's go back to friday in the united states, we got a lack luster jobs report wall street didn't like it. we saw a slump now, monday morning here in asia, among the many worries on the list for traders here are high interest rates in japan. traders, they're didn't take it so kindly and we saw these big drops today on the stock market in japan now, we have a new week in the united states and among the events that are happening a number of

companies, big companies, brands that we know very well. there ceos are going to start reporting their earnings. the concern is not how much they made this quarter. the concern is what do they think about the future if they feel a little bit hesitant, if they don't think things are so rosy when they give these remarks, wall street may very much react so it's a very long worry list. to add. these concerns certainly can happen very quickly. things can unfold quickly at one point today, sara, we saw what are known as circuit breakers put into place in japan and south korea. basically, the markets took a pause, people regroup. there was so much fear that there was all of the selling creating a panic essentially, marc stewart, there's a lot of emotion in the markets. >> we know that is not just science appreciate your reporting this morning there from beijing john. all right. forget the olympics. the

greatest athletic drama in the world found at the dog surfing championship near san francisco way. >> better than. what was expected it's adorable. >> i would say it's like the happiest place on earth. you have dogs surfing, wales people. are caffeinated. it's amazing so these surfers competed for metals in different weight categories is small medium, large, and extra large. >> cacao, a chocolate lab from brazil took home the gold in the extra large category. >> we're not judging on the size here. >> that's just the category cacao was in as far as we know, cacao is exactly the bmi exactly where it's supposed to be and cacao not just morning winning the the top paddles surfing competition, but the top dog overall, our congratulations to all the dogs who competed this morning, we are learning that australian triathletes prepared to swim in

swim in the sin for the women's triathlon switzerland switched up. its roster because one of its olympians also got sick after swimming in the river cnn's melissa bell live in paris with the latest here, don't get too close to that water, apparently, melissa apparently best not to at this edge author that race did go ahead this morning as planned, john, it's was the mixed relay triathlon without the belgian team entirely gone with a swiss lineup changed now, both of those triathletes who felt sick had been in the river last week for the individual triathlon races, both trial seats coming down with illnesses. >> one, we know was a gastrointestinal infection. the other we don't know exactly what kind of sickness it was but they were sufficiently ill that they were prevented from taking part this morning in the mixed relay race at nothing for now to link their illnesses, john too, they're having been in the water, but clearly the

question of whether these races could go ahead as planned. the fact that a couple of events had to be postponed because when it rains, the bacteria levels and specifically john e. coli levels gets so high that it simply isn't safe what we have been learning though as well is how some teams have been preparing for this. the australian triathletes for instance, have been taking e coli anti-colin medication now for months and taking all kinds of precautions to ensure that their athletes remain healthy until we get more word on this fate of these two triathletes who weren't able to take part this morning. the nature of their illnesses, whether or not they did come from the river, lots of questions really about just how clever his gamble was that the brazilians took ultimately about holding events in the river seine where let's face it for 100 years, swimming was illegal it's a reason why people haven't been swimming there for the last century or so melissa bell, thank you very much for that. >> sara.

>> good point. john berman. alright. personal attacks on kamala harris continued over the weekend at a rally in atlanta republican vice presidential nominee and ohio senator j.d. vance, criticized her campaign as quote, pretty weird using the words that the kamala harris campaign has used against him. anyway, he also accused harris of faking a southern accent. listen i think it's especially weird when kamala harris comes to atlanta, i believe came here to this this this arena cobble harris comes to atlanta and talks with a fake southern accent, even though she grew up in canada, you can't make it up. that's pretty weird. >> democratic congressman from ohio, greg landsman is joining me this morning now, i want to start with these attacks that we're hearing not only from j.d. vance trying to use the weird thing that the harris campaign has been using against him. and donald trump. donald trump in the same stadium that she was in with a bunch of people talking about crowd size. again but he also said

kamala harris is a pretty low iq individual when they're using these kinds of attacks, like childless cat lady and low iq individual. is that going to backfire on them? what are your what's your tech? >> yeah, it will backfire. i mean j.d vance is from butler county. that's where i grew up to 200 lives in cincinnati. that's where i live and i represent him in congress we both ran in 2022 in a, in this district is a competitive district. an equal number of democrats, independents, and republicans. it's a district where swing voters have a lot to say in terms of who, who wins. i won this district by 5.5, almost six points. he lost it by almost nine folks don't want this kind of chaos and extremism they want to be done with the incendiary rhetoric, the cruelty, and with kamala harris, with me, with sherrod

brown, others, whoever she picks as the ppi they get a returned to normal, they get a pragmatic bipartisan group of leaders who are going to protect our democracy, restore our freedom, fix the economy, and quite frankly, pass the bipartisan border fix, which trump killed i do want to ask you you know, any moment now we could hear from kamala harris about who her vice presidential pick is. and we can put those pictures back on on the screen there. you've got josh shapiro of pennsylvania, the governor. there, mike kelly of arizona, senator, and tim waltz, the minnesota governor who amongst them, should she pick? and while out naming names, do you think she should pick someone from like pennsylvania because of the number of electors there how should she decide who is going to be her running mate and how important is that? >> i think there are two decision points here. one is can the person do the job and

in all of these cases the answer is yes they can do the job too. will they reinforce? the things that are true about her that she is a more normal politician reliable bipartisan, and somebody who gets things done. and all three of them will do that. the problem with vance's that he reinforced the chaotic extreme cruel part of trump on. harris's side and the vp selections and those of us who are running on the same ticket all three of them not only will be pragmatic and reliable and bipartisan they help us pass the john lewis voting rights bill to end voter suppression and partisan gerrymandering and dark money. they'll help us restore reproductive freedom. they'll help us build an economy in a tax code for working people, not billionaires and they will

help us pass the bipartisan border fix, which again trump killed i want to ask you about some of the way they're trying to frame kamala harris calling her a liberal lunatic a far left far-left liberal. >> i do want to ask you about whether or not you think it's a mistake that she has not done a press conference, she has not done a sit down interview that we are now two weeks plus into her campaign for the presidency. and we're coming up on the dnc, which we expect her to become the nominee. it's a mistake for her not to sit down and talk through some of these issues where the republicans are trying to define her right now as they're on the campaign trail she'll do that. >> of course she will. she's been doing it for her entire career the attacks on her at this point, which aren't policy-based, they are very strange. they suggest that there is a deep fear that they

can't compete and you saw that with trump backing out of the debate and that's going to be a huge problem for them because it makes trump look what i believe he is, which is very weak small. so she is obviously still the underdog, but the country is rallying around her. and i think they'll rally around whoever she picks as vp because they want to get to a point where they don't have to worry about their politicians anymore, that they have people like kamala harris me, and others who are worried about them and who are just doing our jobs and making sure things get done well, it is good that you noted i think you are representative for about 800,000 ohioans and that includes vice presidential candidate j.d. >> vance. we will see what happens. rep. greg landsman. thank you so much for coming on this morning thanks, sara a new hour of cnn. >> new central starts right
